Dan is the prickly and humbly erudite, but blogorrheic author of Georgipedia (Enciclopedia iosefină) (ENIO), „Irismeister’s Review of Books”, „Legea Strămoşească”, „Abaris the Hyperborean”, and many essays, as diverse as „Cardinal Homeopathy”, and „Trans Iridial Studies”. He works in France, and everywhere, as a Romanian „bade”.

¶ 1. This book, documenting a revolutionary, vastly touching, if very old theory represents fifteen years of intense research. Concerning the origins of Old Europe and of Civilization as a whole, this theory is thoroughly proven here, mainly using the Romanian language, its wit, and its special logic, with the traditional elegance of the first chroniclers.

¶ 2. Free from all the ridicule and diabolization that invariably accompanied previous similar writings which were deemed „ dangerous “ for the Establishment, the Vlasgica series breaks through the obfuscations now proven to be at least one millennium old. Exempted from the omnipresent modern censorship and spin, this long awaited book will make a lasting impact on the research community in this field of studies, and on the public at large.

¶ 3. Vlasgica is also expected to shake the grounds on which thousands of years of proven lies made all the way down to our common, if fake educated perception. Perversely reproduced, and cunningly concatenated in order to misguide both research specialists, and the consciousness of people, they vanish now like mist at dawn, if we follow the mountain breeze. The common, aeon-old historical sense, prevailed against odds, time and again and especially contrary to the special, pervading, ad hoc logic of media, schools and academia.

¶ 4. This is the first in a serious of seven volumes, written with good logic, and well developed, uncompromising, if still subtle and profound, but sometimes too complex phrasing. This is feast, since Vlasgica’s first volume comes at a cardinal moment in history.

¶ 5. At the turning of the first century, celebrated since the historical moment Romania took shape by the will of all Romanians, in a Greater Union, even if only of the simple majority of all traditional Vlasgian principalities, Vlasgica represents an historical anniversary present for our people. Vlasgica is an ethnical, ethical, subjective encyclopedia, based on respect for Truth. Vlasgians are „ Pelasgian “ Walaskans, Vlachs, Wallachians, Transylvanians, Moldavians, Bucowinians, Armâns, Timocians, Gorals, Massagetae, and all the other generic proto-Romanians ( Arimi, Arimaspi ) as a whole, with a transhistorical view towards their common origin. What Vlasgica isn't : a theory of everything, or yet another, falsely diverse, relativistic, „ non-point-of-view “ nonsense.

¶ 6. Even God has a point of view. Why shouldn't we have one ? We are Europe’s first creators of civilized cities, with characteristically circular forms ( no surrounding walls, as in the pre-Cucuteni, pre-neolithic mega-complexes of villages up to 50,000 inhabitants ).

¶ 7. The first known temples, the first writing, the famous universal language – lingua prisca, pyramids, law, natural order, justice, medicine, freedom, and all of these together were, undoubtedly, our first, original creation. The seven Vlasgica volumes as well as the ENIO encyclopedia and the DIES historical and etymological dictionary profusely follow all these extraordinary claims with detailed, and even shocking proof. So, the Old European ( Danubian ) Civilization effectively started civilization per se.

¶ 8. Why that ? Because it was non aggressive, culturally generous and „ civilized “ to start with. This meaning exactly, and uniquely, a non aggressive society, expanding without conquering, and most of all, remarkably, without slaves – not even prisoners, from the very beginning. There are no cemeteries in the trail of the first eurasians. This trend gradually changed in millennia, to the post - Old Europe, late, historical, „ progressive “ extension of the indoeuropenized „ Pelasgian Empire “, scion of primordial, pre-indoeuropean, Vlasgian Old Europe. This, too, was still culturally contagious, generous, yet almost uniquely eventless.

¶ 9. Harmoniously ahistoric, and remarkably, continuously peaceful, the „ conquests “ of the Vlasgians represented a „ contagious “ characteristic of the Vlasgian Old European Civilization : Clearly, a periodical, transhumant, ebb-and-tide expansion wave pattern rose, by which people born in Walaska, Transylvania, Pind, Bukowina, or Bessarabia at large, reached as far west as Wales, Scotland and Gascony.

¶ 10. Most of the expansion followed the Danube Valley upstream from its „ cataracts “ of the Iron Gates, towards its hidden sources in the Black Forest. But even much more characteristic was the spread of the original Vlasgian mountain culture through the myriad hidden mountain paths, near the peaks, through the high altitude Carpathian and Alpine pastures, all the way down the Pyrenean Mountains. Northwards, the gentler slopes of the Eastern Carpathian and the extensive Subcarpathian regions of Volhynia, Galicia and Black Ruthenia, allowed for an earlier descent on the „ Swiderian hunters “ of Ceahlău all the way down to the Baltic.

¶ 11. Marking the first linguistic „ individuation “ of the „ Balto-Slavic “ aryan group, by opening the freshly molten, non-permafrost-covered Great Russian Plain to the expansion eastwards, this era of the Steppe started, logically, as far back as the Younger Dryas.

¶ 12. Moreover, Khorasan ( Thraxiane ), Transoxiana, Khotan, north-western and south-western Tibet, Punjab and even the Golden Mountain at the Dzungarian Gates, and then the Ordos loop of the Yellow River, were reached, eastwards, well in advance of the Euxine Flood. By the noninvasive, natural, thirty-miles-per-one-generation ( thirty years ) expansion process, this insured its perennity. This pattern never really ceased, till the late beginning of non-scythe wielding Scythian Archers’ history, everywhere, till the even later times in the Asian Bronze and Iron Ages.

¶ 13. The Eurasian Silk Road for instance was firstly built eastwards, starting in the area of the magnificent cultures of pre-Cucuteni, and early Cucuteni, with Termini Liberi Patris – as Nicolae Densușianu discovered, at least 105 years ago, and as it was marked with pyramids of various, and sometimes gigantic proportions. Most such pyramids, by the hundreds, were recently hidden underneath luxuriant vegetation by the „ phyletic “ communist Chinese archeological schools, captured as they were in the web of lies, by the intense Jesuit campaigns, started with the spurious „ first sinantropic discoveries “ at the peripheric region of Beijing of the Zhōukǒudiàn ( 周口店) cave.

¶ 15. Before the indoeuropean homeland existed, a Transylvanian Urheimat for an ergative, pre-indoeuropean, perhaps even protosanskrit language was born and marked in writing, and this original system was exported as far as Sumer, and the Old Indus Civilization.

¶ 16. This old idea, somehow shared by Laurence Austine Waddell, and, indirectly, by Joseph Yahuda, is hidden in plain sight. But traditional Romanian and astute modern studies always pointed to it, as if a secret Männerbund, the Serabic Order, transmitted it, through no less than hundreds of generations.

¶ 18. But, still, none of them, so far, saw the intense riddle inside the indoeuropean enigma, wrapped in pure logic, as it is, since it was starting from an extremely well known geodesic and geometric Axis, Transylvania, which is little short of a Center of Civilization in the traditional sense of Cardines Mundi.

¶ 19. Romanians, indeed, continued to create writing, history, geometry, transmission of knowledge in a way independent from a variety of shifting and drifting languages, in well-known universal symbols like the swastika, sauwastika, taighitu and the „ ionic “ wave pattern.

¶ 20. Late Vlasgian scions, as the son of a Vlasgian mother, Nicolae Teaslă ( Nikola Tesla ) devised methods to offer really free energy for all in order to make everybody free again.

¶ 21. Incidentally, the plane, the rocket, the train, the automobile, the flying saucer, the cure for diabetes, and even the very pen I'm writing this with, right now, are all Vlasgian creations. And how many more ?

¶ 22. Vlasgica is now here. It is therefore written in Romanian, for all Romanians, irrespective of their genography, for no subrace exists inside the „ uniquely unique “, teandric human race.

¶ 23. It is that very spirit of peace, tolerance, and universal access to Truth, in up to nine levels of difficulty from pre-school to post-doctoral, that generated the current form of the Vlasgica series.

¶ 24. God help us end the first seven volumes as planned !

¶ 25. It is perhaps no better ending of a presentation for this volume than this condensed book review, published on November 16<sup>th</sup> of the year 2018, as cited below.

¶ 26. This is yet another perfect epitome of our Civilization, especially the Western Civilization, now completely rotten by the leadership of satanic worshippers of mamon.

¶ 27. Cunningly, even those cultures for which the epitaph is being written, originally worshipping satan, even from their cloudy beginnings, initially made all the necessary provisions for their own persistance, including the almost bellaginaeic forgiveness of debt.

¶ 28. This leads us to the conclusion that even without knowing it, even the „ unclean “ DARO ( Necuratul, Vrășmașul ) completes, by providing context, contrast and finally, by bringing the Revelation, the majestic design of the Creator of the universe, without Whom there would be no salvation.

¶ 30. But satan is the absolute enemy, the only one continuously attacking our souls in order to attempt perversion, capture of our divine, constructive energies, and parasitic domination. For he and his idols and demons have no intrinsic – but only perverted energy, they will never succeed.

¶ 31. Agonizing inside, with, and outside our souls, as they are, in fake triumphalism, they exist only because we allow them to be, and for our poor understanding and propensity to self-worship, we even continue to feed them. Yet, we always have been warned, by our holy fathers, of the continuously, indispensable Unseen War, „Războiul Nevăzut“.

¶ 32. One of satan’s most perfidious „ accomplishment “ is the heresy of Origen, according to whom, even satan, even diabolically returned against God Most High the Creator, as satan was, will eventually be pardoned in the end.

¶ 33. Such „ apocatastasis “, condemned at the proposal of Emperor Justinian, at he Fifth Ecumenical Council, as a „ restoration “ of idols and demons, since, according to origenists, they will all be redeemed as well, „ united all together “ in the end, is yet again put forward.

¶ 34. Origenism is upgraded, nowadays, inside the Trojan Horse of ecumenism, the very cool, cultural„ pink “ christianity, and the neo-origenism of „ the new age “.

¶ 35. Societally, nevertheless, by cultivating such idols and the corresponding demons, under any name, we accept our own destruction. This is, of course, talmudic preparation of the victim for acceptance of sacrifice, only in order to render black „ magick “ functional.

¶ 36. History is our next guide, if we missed the First :

To say that Michael Hudson’s new book „ And Forgive Them Their Debts : Lending, Foreclosure, and Redemption from Bronze Age Finance to the Jubilee Year“ ( ISLET 2018 ) is profound, is an understatement on the order of saying that the Mariana Trench is deep. To grasp his central argument is so alien to our modern way of thinking about civilization and barbarism that Hudson quite matter-of-factly agreed with me that the book is, to the extent that it will be understood, „ earth-shattering“in both intent and effect. Over the past three decades, Hudson gleaned ( under the auspices of Harvard’s Peabody Museum ) and then synthesized the scholarship of American and British and French and German and Soviet assyriologists ( spelled with a lower-case a to denote, collectively, all those who study the various civilizations of ancient Mesopotamia, which include Sumer, the Akkadian Empire, Ebla, Babylonia, et al., as well as Assyria with a capital A ). Hudson demonstrates that we, twenty-first century globalists, have been morally blinded by a dark legacy of some twenty-eight centuries of decontextualized history. This has left us, for all practical purposes, utterly ignorant of the corrective civilizational model that is needed to save ourselves from tottering into bleak neo-feudal barbarism.

This corrective model actually existed and flourished in the economic functioning of Mesopotamian societies during the third and second millennia B. C. It can be termed Clean Slate amnesty, a term Hudson uses to embrace the essential function of what was called :

It is the necessary and periodic erasure of the debts of small farmers — necessary because such farmers are, in any society in which interest on loans is calculated, inevitably subject to being impoverished, then stripped of their property, and finally reduced to servitude ( including the sexual servitude of daughters and wives ) by their creditors, creditors.

The latter inevitably seek to effect the terminal polarization of society into an oligarchy of predatory creditors cannibalizing a sinking underclass mired in irreversible debt peonage. Hudson writes : „ That is what creditors really wanted : Not merely the interest as such, but the collateral — whatever economic assets debtors possessed, from their labor to their property, ending up with their lives “ ( p. 50 ).

And such polarization is, by Hudson’s definition, barbarism. For what is the most basic condition of civilization, Hudson asks, other than societal organization that effects lasting „ balance “ by keeping „ everybody above the break-even level“ ?

„ Mesopotamian societies were not interested in equality “, he told me, but they were civilized. And they possessed the financial sophistication to understand that, interest on loans increases exponentially, while economic growth at best follows an S-curve.

This means that debtors will, if not protected by a central authority, end up becoming permanent bond servants to their creditors.

So Mesopotamian kings regularly rescued debtors who were getting crushed by their debts. They knew that they needed to do this.

Again and again, century after century, they proclaimed Clean Slate Amnesties.

Asked about what he thought about the Western Civilization – at the other end of the indoeuropean world, one remarkable representative of the Hindu Civilization at the end of „ British Raj “, Mohandas Karamchand ( Mahātmā ) Gandhi, ( મોહનદાસ કરમચંદ ગાંધી ), a modest lawyer from Gujarat, of the vania or Vaishya ( third ) caste, and leader, from 1921, of the Indian National Congress, said, with Vlasgian traditional modesty, and historical weight :
